Es Vedrà is the huge rock rising off Cala d’Hort on Ibiza’s south-west coast. Seeing it from the water at sunset, under an orange sky, is one of the island’s most sought-after moments. This boat trip takes you there at an easy pace.
What the experience looks like
- Late-afternoon departure from Sant Antoni or Sant Josep, depending on the operator.
- Coastal cruise past coves and cliffs on the west side.
- Swim stop in a quiet cove when conditions allow.
- Anchor facing Es Vedrà to watch the sunset with a drink and chilled music.
Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell are part of a nature reserve: nobody lands on the islet and the boat only anchors in permitted areas.
Who it is for
Couples, small groups and any traveller wanting an easy activity on their first or last day in Ibiza. Suitable for all ages and you do not need to swim (the dip is optional).
What to bring
- A light jacket: it gets cooler at sea after dark.
- Swimwear if you fancy a dip.
- A camera or phone with a full battery.
Best time to go
May to October. In June the sun sets later, around 21:30; in September and October the light is more golden and the sea is often calm.
Included
- Boat trip with skipper
- A glass of cava or sangria plus soft drinks
